We run the 6509-e platform in this role with Sup720-3bxl's.. and they have been rock solid.

I have an opportuniy to put two 7609s into the core of my network. Currently we have 3 upstream providers, taking full BGP routes. (2 in one router and one in another). We have 17 BGP peers/customers (peering to each router), and adding about one new BGP peer every 2-3 months. It is a modest network by most standards. We are running OSPF and BGP between the existing routers. Not rocket science, nothing special (no MPLS, no VRF etc), very simple network. Does anyone have any recommendations on the 7600's as a core BGP router? Good or bad? Have they been a stable platform in a core/BGP environment? -- Jim Wininger
